Ann Coulter v The rest of us



There were certain things that along with many of my New York friends, I found distasteful about America and that's American politics. Now leaving the War on Terror aside, there's a lot more about US politicking in the mainstream British media due to the upcoming elections. And I think us Brits should pay attention to this as I think there a few lessons/warnings to take note of. One being Ann Coulter, now this woman's so ultra right-wing she could have been Hitler's' press secretary. Heck, she could have taught Joseph Goebbels a thing or two about propaganda.

But I want you to read this article in todays Independent newspaper about her. In the UK we take it for granted that people like her could never get taken seriously because we seem to view ourselves with a little more rational and logical than middle America, who is increasingly paying more attention to Ann Coulter. Middle England and middle America are scarily similar places. We might not have guns but that doesn't make us any smarter. I mean how much of the population voted for the UK Independence Party and the BNP in the European elections this year?
